Hey. Looking at getting my girlfriend a computer for xmas as she only has an ipad atm and wants something to have in her room as a dedicated workstation. She'll only mainly be using it for music, office, internet etc no hardcore games or anything. We were looking at all in one computers and...

I'm trying to get to the bottom of my handling issues and noticed the other day that when stationary, the top mounts physically twist when I turn the steering wheel. Not a small amount too, they're moving quite a bit! Is this normal? Cheers

I thought my issues were sorted but apparently not. The car is being f**king horrible when accelerating, just pulling to the right mainly, steering wheel juddering when braking and pulling it from my hands and now i seem to have developed a clunking noise when changing gear. So far it has: New...

Really nice. Lowered etc. How I want mine to look! Anyone?

I've noticed something lately that when coming up to junctions etc and i'm wanting to change gear the car will rev ever so slightly when dipping the clutch. Almost like it's being told to do so by the ecu? Could this have anything to do with the fact that my clutch is on its way out? If not...

Hi! I've developed this problem where when i'm accelerating and letting off the pedal, or sometimes it does it when i'm accelerating lightly I can hear this whirring, a high pitched one, imagine an owl noise but constant like a wheel bearing but no where near as drony. The only way to...

Basically, I wanted to clean out my injectors properly! The redex crap is exactly that and I think the only way to clean them properly is to leave them in an ultrasonic bath. I researched into it whilst on my lunch breaks at work and saw that simply leaving them in an ultrasonic bath wouldn't...

Hey. Basically I'm wanting to make my car a little more unique on the dash by having a small led that illuminates when the engine has allowed the variable cam to activate. Is this done on oil pressure or oil temperature? Or water temp? If so how would I go about this? By tapping into...

Hey guys. I've just sanded a bit of paint off the rear brake pads so that they are more free in the caliper along with flushing out the old fluid and putting new fluid in. Now when I press the brake pedal I can feel a physical knock through the pedal at around half way this is even when...

Hey. I've just ordered an ultrasonic cleaning bath with the intentions of cleaning my injectors. What I've read is that although it will clean them without pulsing, to get the best results ideally you want to get them moving to clean them out properly. What I'm wanting to know is...

I'm still having troubles with my car :( So far I have, Replaced rear discs with new bearings New brakes all around even New inner tracks and track rod ends Four-wheel Hunter alignment Swapped tyres over front to rear And I'm getting a steering wheel shake from 40mph onwards and...

Changing my discs slash bearings. Just need to know if I'm going to be needing a press for them? Thank you. Daniel

Hey. The other day after I got my tracking done u pulled up to a junction to hear a loud clunk at the front end. The tracking guy said he noticed it was pulling to the right when accelerating and thought it was just torque steer but it's not as it's low down the power band. What could be the...

I just came to a junction to press my brakes and although they worked, I felt a dodgy feeling through my foot and an audible "knock" noise. Wondering what this is? And is it dangerous? Although just came back from my tracking being done and it's always done this but when accelerating it's...

Hey. I'm looking at getting some decent rubber for the clio. I've decided on the rainsport3's! However there are three types: 83V, 83Y and the 87Y XL What do these figures relate to? Sidewall stiffness? Which one should I go for? I do a 12 mile commute to work on standard 30/40mph roads. No...

I cleaned the car today and can't help but feel it would be complete with a stubby aerial! What do you have and where did you get it from? Signal isn't a problem as I don't listen to the radio :) Thanks

Hey. Looking at replacing the inner track rod and ends on my clio 182 non FF verison. However I've seen that 99.9% of clio 182's have the smi rack but euro car parts only seem to list the Lemforder TRW version? Anyone know what ones I should go for and where from? Cheers!! :)

I'm looking to replace my 2 front budgets with something decent. I need 205/45/16 as they're for my 182 The tyre poll looks to be massively out of date. What are people rating these days? Just for my daily, 13 mile drive to work etc, no track action. I know it's probably been done a...

Just thought I'd throw a thread up to disclose my findings haha. This morning I removed the 15mm washers under both seats and replaced with standard 2(?)mm washers. What a difference! It now feels so good to sit in as like others have said I now feel like I'm sat in the car and not on...

I've always wanted to know! When you're flicking through mpg, set speed limit etc there is one that says G. Really not sure what it is and it doesn't seem to go up in correspondence to my driving style etc? Cheers!!

I'm looking at getting my belts and easy phaser changed pronto and was wondering if anyone knew anyone reputable up in God's County (Yorkshire) ;) Thanks a lot :)

Clio dephaser: http://youtu.be/EcNLC9nTzRI Thank you!

The management light came on yesterday so I've just scanned it and it's given me this fault code! Are there are any common problems associated with this or could it literally just be spark plugs, leads, coil pack etc? Car seems to be running fine now though was just for that split...

Just got car back from being tracked and I noticed it's a tiny bit out pointing to the left. Is there any chance I could undo the steering wheel, and move it one spline to the right to make it central again? Or would it mess with the steering angle sensor et. al? Thanks, Daniel

Hope you enjoyed my cheeky flash and nod haha. What a beautiful day it was for tempy n! I'm not sure what your reg was but it started with V? private small plate at the front :) Might get dash came footage up for a cheeky pic haha

Recently changed my bearing in my car up front and the new nut is weird it has like a car around it with cut outs if that makes sense. Not a standard nyloc nut. Do I need a special tool to lock it in place or is it automatic in the way it prevents it from undoing? Can get a pic if...

Made a thread a few weeks ago wondering what colour I should refurb my wheels in, I decided with amphasite in the end and here is the finished product! Ended up not spending too much either as my Dad took them to a local place near his that does sand blasting so got them cleaned up for free...

Changing my bearing and I'm not sure if I've knocked my driveshaft out or if this is normal? It won't spin freely when it's in first gear so that's telling me it's okay and no oil has spilt just wondering as it's scaring me. Thanks! Wobble: http://youtu.be/vkHD9K8Yzr0

I'm a little confused, my 04 182 doesn't have either of the cup packs however it has factory xenons, climate control etc. I thought these came with one of the full fat packs or am I getting confused? Need it clearing up for me please!! Thanks :)

Hey. I've taken my wheels off for spraying and noticed that on the nearside front, If I hold the disc at the sides or on the top and bottom I can wobble it quite a lot. When I got the car it went for the MOT and was going to fail on the front left wheel bearing but I tightened the hub nut and...
